Overnights at home as commuter
Hi everybody. I'm looking for info on the lines on the CRJ out of DEN that would overnight in CPR. If they exist, whether they're stand ups, 3 days with one night there etc. With there being a 5:15 am daily flight I figure there ought to be something. I have a CJO and I'd like to get an idea what is currently available. I'll be commuting CPR-DEN.
I know things change, and class dates are indefinitely postponed. Just need something to satiate my curiosity.
It's also possible that information isn't available to anyone. If that's the case, I apologize for cluttering the forums. I have no 121 experience so I'm just guessing at how this whole thing works from what I've read.
Thanks in advance.

The fine details of KXYZ airport overnights change a lot. One month there will be an overnight; the next they cancel the 0600 flight and it's just turns. Then the next month another carrier may cover the airport. Over the course of a year, it's reasonable to assume you could probably hold a home overnight between occasionally to frequently ... but not regularly.
Also beware if you don't live right by the airport. 2215 arrival for a min rest AM departure can kinda suck if you're driving 25 minutes home and then all you want to do is immediately go to sleep until the absolute last minute you can get up, get dressed and leave again. The kids/dogs/spouse/soul may decide it's better to just sleep in Abilene.

Sorry for the slight deviation of topic. I didn't want to create a brand new thread. I hope it fits here. Does anybody commute from ANC or have any second hand knowledge of it. I am a transitioning military pilot and I'm looking for a place to land in the Anchorage area. My wife is going to have a job up there and I'd like to get back into the air after not flying for my last tour in the Navy.
Thoughts on commuting from ANC?
How is hiring looking?
Thanks

What about local operators around ANC? Why do the Horizon folks point you back to SkyW? Seniority in ANC tough to get in? Or maybe Atlas flying cargo?

Commuting from ANC to anywhere in the lower 48 for a regional job seems odious. Not speaking first hand, but the closest base would be SEA with a 3 1/2 flight. Doing that 4 times a month with possible redeye commutes does not seem fun.

24 flights a day…. We have a few people that do it. They don’t seem to complain… QX is way to slow moving and they mostly higher through there pathways program that starts at them funding a loan for you to get ratings.. any QX pilot will tell you the fastest way to fly for Alaska is go to SkyWest…
